January 3/12 16:32 pm - 2012 Prohibited Substances List Now in Effect

Posted by Editoress on 01/3/12

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) would like to remind the Canadian sport community that changes to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List came into effect on January 1, 2012. A November advisory note summarized the changes to the list of banned substances and methods (www.cces.ca/en/advisories-38).

Athletes can verify the prohibited status of their medication using the following CCES resources, all of which were updated to reflect the new Prohibited List.

For prescribed substances that require a medical exemption, athletes subject to doping control should consult the CCES or their international federation to get complete information on the application process.

• The CCES Medical Exemption Wizard (www.cces.ca/mewizard, formerly known as the TUE Wizard) can help athletes find out if they need to apply in advance for a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) or simply be prepared for a medical review following doping control. The wizard describes where and when to submit an application, and what to include in the medical file.• Email tue-aut@cces.ca.
